Genes affected
FLNC (HGNC:3756): (filamin C) This gene encodes one of three related filamin genes, specifically gamma filamin. These filamin proteins crosslink actin filaments into orthogonal networks in cortical cytoplasm and participate in the anchoring of membrane proteins for the actin cytoskeleton. Three functional domains exist in filamin: an N-terminal filamentous actin-binding domain, a C-terminal self-association domain, and a membrane glycoprotein-binding domain. Mutations in this gene are a cause of cardiopathy. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

FLNC-related disorder Uncertain:1

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The FLNC c.1309C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg437Cys. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0070% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Feb 10, 2025
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R437C variant (also known as c.1309C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the FLNC gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1309. The arginine at codon 437 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 437 of the FLNC protein (p.Arg437Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs374847180, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FLNC-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 567937). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on FLNC protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
